Conor McGregor will be watching closely as Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira square off later tonight (Sat., March 7, 2026) at UFC 326<\/a> LIVE on Paramount<\/a> from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev., but \u201cNotorious\u201d doesn\u2019t believe the main event rematch should be considered a \u201cBMF\u201d fight.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s event will mark the second time Holloway is trying to defend his \u201cBMF\u201d title after winning it off Justin Gaethje back at UFC 300. Some might consider the belt a gimmick by UFC, but \u201cBMF\u201d fights have turned out to be some of the best action fight fans have ever seen. It\u2019s become somewhat of a respected belt and a piece of hardware most UFC fighters would love to get their hands on.<\/p>\n

McGregor, who is still plotting his long-awaited Octagon return<\/a>, recently offered up his prediction for UFC 326\u2019s main event while trashing it at the same time. \u201cNotorious\u201d doesn\u2019t believe Holloway vs. Oliveira 2<\/a> should be considered a \u201cBMF\u201d fight since both men cut so much weight and also because McGregor claims he\u2019d easily beat both veterans.<\/p>\n

Check it out below and let us know if you at all agree with McGregor!<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t feel the BMF title is accurate here also with both men suffering in the sauna to make the limit. There is zero BMF about this,\u201d said McGregor. \u201cFor me vs either opponent next I feel supremely confident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stop both men in their tracks. I am a bad man with a good heart, so I may add the BMF belt to my collection.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Conor McGregor will be watching closely as Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira square off later tonight (Sat., March…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525472,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,40762,785,85,193818,1396,179146],"class_list":["post-525471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-326","tag-ufc-news","tag-ufc-on-paramount"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
